Authentic World War 1 Setting

The WW1 Game Series currently includes Tannenberg and
Verdun (set on the Western Front). These authentic WW1 shooters let players choose from a range of squads from across the war, as they fight for control of the ever-changing frontlines.
We recreate the atmosphere of the Eastern Front with the same level of accuracy as seen in Verdun. Extensive research has been conducted, with uniforms recreated to the tiniest detail and weapons modelled to exact references. The maps use realistic props and terrain layouts based on locations from the hilly forests of Galicia and Baltic swamps to Roumanian mountains or a Polish village subjected to scorched earth tactics.

M2H and Blackmill Games have executed their concept so well that the most glaring criticism is that there is not more. With such good a foundation as Verdun, it would have been nice to see a greater variety of maps, or perhaps even some different objective based modes. While it should be noted that fans of run and gun in faster-paced shooters may be frustrated with the game’s more methodical pacing, Tanneberg is a satisfying tactical shooter.

Tannenberg takes what made Verdun fun, and improves upon what made it awesome. The new environments in particular really make the potential of a WWI FPS/Simulator really stand out and stick with memorable moments that last long after a match is over. The developers proved themselves with their support of Verdun over time, which gives me reason to believe that Tannenberg is only going to get better from here.

Tannenberg is more accessible and has a greater fun factor than you might expect from a realism-driven World War 1 shooter, thanks to a great central game mode and consistently exciting and satisfying gameplay. Though you’ll need to be on board with bolt-action rifles and accept that you are going to die a lot.

If you're looking for a first-person shooter that is slightly different from the standard run of the mill FPS, Tannenberg is the way to go. Gameplay, the feel of the guns and map choice is all solid and makes for a great experience, but Tannenberg is held back by its lack of players and a mediocre class system.

Calling Tannenberg a historical online FPS would mean trying to categorize it by genre, but as an experience, it belongs to that category of games that will never see the same success as the giants in the industry, but for the select few that love the historical accuracy and setting, it will become the go-to FPS. With a few patches here and there and maybe a better advertisement campaign, the game may even manage to fill up with enough players as to no longer need the bot auto-fill system.

Game World Navigator Magazine

Although it deserves recognition for its attempt to be historically faithful, for hardcore damage mechanics and good combat dynamic, Tannenberg is also a little disappointing: weapons are more or less the same, unlocks lack impact, and class division is basically pointless. [Issue#236, p.38]

Tannenberg is a good FPS in general that has things to say in World War 1's not so busy market, and it can even satisfy fans of realistic shooters too. However, some technical and design issues prevent the game from reaching its full potential.

An intense and authentic World War 1 shooter with emphasis on caution, tactics and team coordination. Unfortunately, it’s never going to win any beauty contests, and then there’s the real elephant in the room - sparsely populated servers.

Tannenberg is by no means a bad game. That being said, I can't recommend it for the sheer fact that the player count is far too low. The audience for this game is split with Verdun, its predecessor, and there simply isn't enough here to make playing it the clear choice.
